He pointed out that arrests of insurgents and anti-social elements, as well as the recovery of arms, ammunition, explosives, and warlike stores, have primarily occurred in the valley districts of Manipur, according to media reports.
While welcoming the Governor’s call to secure illegal arms as an initial step to restore normalcy, M Tombi stated that operations against disruptive activists and militant extremists must also intensify in the sensitive hill districts.
Responding to a question about the protection of unarmed villagers, particularly the Meities, M Tombi stated that the Governor would be responsible if armed miscreants killed unarmed individuals.
